Why does nobody talk about the actual failure rate of those new solid-state ADCs?

I was reading a report from the FAA's 2023 maintenance data, and it said the mean time between failures for the new solid-state air data computers is around 12,000 flight hours. I always heard they were supposed to be 'bulletproof' and last the life of the aircraft. That's a lot lower than I expected, especially compared to the older pneumatic systems they're replacing. It makes me wonder if we're trading one set of problems for another, just with fancier boxes. Has anyone else had to pull one of these units for a premature fault?

Got a pile of falling-apart paperbacks... tried kettle stitching and perfect binding. Which method do you trust for long-term use?

Heads up: Fake comics are showing up at local fan meets

I was at a comic fan gathering near the park last week. Someone was selling what they called vintage first editions. The paper quality was off, and the colors were too bright. A buddy of mine paid fifty bucks for one and found out it was a cheap reprint. This seller has been seen at a few different spots around town. If you're buying from a new face, get a second opinion. It's better to be safe than sorry with your collection.

My food app login got a lot safer with one change

I turned on two-factor authentication for my grocery delivery app. It sends a code to my phone whenever I sign in. This stops strangers from getting into my account if my password leaks. You can find this option in the app's security settings under your profile.
